In this article we will discuss about the Metabolic Reaction and Importance of Glucuronic Acid. Metabolic Reactions of Glucuronic Acid: 1. Glucose-6-phosphate is converted to glucose-1-phosphate by phosphoglucomutase. The product then reacts with UTP to form UDPG by the help of the enzyme UDPG pyrophosphorylase. 2. UDPG is oxidized to uridine di-phospho-glucuronic acid by UDPG dehydrogenase in presence of NAD+. [...]
The following points highlight the seven major endocrine influences on metabolism of carbohydrates. The endocrine influences are: 1. Insulin 2. Adrenocortical Hormones 3. Anterior Pituitary Factors 4. Epinephrine 5. Thyroid Hormone 6. Glucagon 10. Sex Hormones. 1. Insulin: a. Causes glucose transport across cell membrane by increasing the permeability of the cells. b. Increases glycogen formation in liver and muscle [...]
The following points highlight the top four stages for reregulation of carbohydrate metabolism. The stages are: 1. Regulation of Carbohydrate Metabolism at the Cellular and Enzymatic Level 2. Regulation of Glycolysis, Gluconeo-Genesis and Hexose Monophosphate Shunt 3. Regulation of Glycogen Metabolism 4. Regulation of the Citric Acid Cycle. Stages for Regulation of Carbohydrate Metabolism: Contents: Regulation of Carbohydrate Metabolism at [...]
